My first hockey card pickup in a little while. It looks better in person. If I could just figure out the best scanner settings to use...

For a graded/slabbed card, that looks pretty decent, imo, Eric.

There is a test section below where you can go and play with all sorts of settings to see what works best, but also, as this has been asked ad nauseam, as you likely know, there are also many scanner threads on here if you want to do a search.

Thanks. It was an eBay auction that apparently nobody was following. I managed to get this for a song.

I can't seem to get the colors right. The scanner made it look like Wayne has the worst case of sunburn ever.

Very nice. Those leader cards are under appreciated, and I especially love the 83/84s, great pick-up.

Very happy with this pickup.....
Beautiful shape.

[Kurri17]

That is just beautiful. One of my favorite food/oddball issues, and yeah, that Gretz is in great condition. Congrats.

thanks, this a really nice set, probably tough to find all the singles. Are there any other key cards other than Gretzky?

Well, obviously KURRI! is the key card in the set But there really aren't any RCs of note or anything, just stars like the other Oilers Mess, Fuhr, Coffey, and then Lafleur, Hawerchuk, maybe a couple of others. 1983 wasn't even big RC year for the regular OPC set, so there isn't something like that. I haven't followed it recently enough to remember if there are some unusually tough ones to find.
